Once Again, Texas Leads the Way

Clute police officer seriously injured in rollover accident some blame on horseplay - 12/07/09 - Houston News - abc13.com: "The wreck was so serious that the on-duty Clute police officer behind the wheel is lucky to be alive after he was ejected from his squad car. It all started when he lost control, skidded across three lanes of traffic and slammed into a guardrail.

Captain Robin Carlton Clute Police Department said, 'He had a broken pelvis, front and back, broke both ankles, had a collapsed lung, contusion to his chest, some bleeding on the brain.'

What's more, Captain Carlton believes the driver -- Clute Police Patrol Officer Scott Morton -- has no one to blame but himself.

'Horseplay. That's the only way I can describe it,' said Captain Carlton. 'I mean, they were out there playing around, at least one of them was, anyway.'"
